E x citem en t
and
pride were the primary class
assignments at high schools
in Eugene and Vancouver
after NASA named its latest
astronaut class Thursday,
May 6.
James P. Dutton Jr.,
a E ugene n ative and a
g rad u ate o f E u g e n e ’s
Sheldon High School; and
D orothy “ D o ttie ” M.
M etcalf-L indenburger, a
science teacher at Hudson’s
Bay H igh School in
Vancouver, are among 11
a stro n au t
can d id ates
selected by the space agency.
They were introduced at
Space Day ceremonies at the
N ational A ir and Space
M u seu m 's U dvar-H azy
Center in Chantilly, Va.
Dutton, 35, an Air
Force major and a test pilot
for the FIA-22 Raptor jet
fig h ter, is statio n ed in
E d w ard s,
C alif.
He
graduated from Sheldon in
1987 before going to the
U.S. Air Force Academy,
w here he receiv ed top
honors. He also has a
m a ste r’s
d eg ree
in
aeronautics and astronautics
from the U n iv ersity o f
Washington.
When asked about
his response on learning that
he had been accepted into
the astro n au t program ,
Dutton said on NASA TV
that he “ was pretty
overwhelmed after wanting
to do this since I was in
grade school. To hear those
words was amazing.”
Debi B rooks, a
longtime staff member at
Sheldon High where Dutton
played baseball and football,
said “We’re all very excited
for Jim. He always told us
he was going to be an
astronaut, and it seemed so
lofty a goal for a young
student - but he’s done it.
We’re very proud of him.”
Dutton credits Linda
A gue, a librarian at Cal
Young M iddle School in
Eugene, for steering him
toward a space career when
she helped him w ith a
seventh
grade
class
assignment about careers.
“ I helped Jim m y
look up how to co n tact
NASA when he wanted to
do a p ro ject about
astronauts,” Ague said. “I
was amazed that he thought
to call me last week and told
me the news. I just showed
him how to find out about a
career as an astronaut. He
did all the rest.”
His parents. Jim and
Nita button of Tigard, said
that their son always had
posters of airplanes and
spacecraft on his bedroom
w alls w hen he was a
y oungster. “ We were
jumping up and down when
he told us the news,” Nita
Dutton said. “It’s something
he’s worked so hard for.”
D utton flew air
patrols over northern Iraq in
the 1990s before becoming
a test pilot for the Air Force’s
newest fighter. He is married
to another Sheldon graduate,
Erin Ruhoff Dutton. They
have three boys, ages three,
six, and eight months.
M e t c a l f -
Lindenburger is one of three
educators from a field of
more than 1.000 applicants
who were selected for the
new astronaut class. At 29,
she is the youngest of the
astronaut candidates.
The Colorado native
found out that she been
selected as an astronaut
candidate when she received
a phone call while teaching
her th ird -p erio d earth
science class. “ It was
completely unreal,” she said
Thursday on NASA TV. “I
was shaking and jumping up
and down. Of course, the
students I wanted to know
what’s wrong with me. And
then when I got o ff the
phone, they got to share in
my
ex citem en t
and
enthusiasm.”
Part of the broadcast
was aired throughout the
Hudson’s Bay building. In
her sixth period freshman
earth science class - where
she is known as “Mrs. M-L”
- the students remained quiet
until breaking into applause
at the end of the segment.
“It’s weird thinking
that our teacher is going to
go into space,” said student
Cameron Irwin. “You don't
think of astronauts as normal
people, but when it’s your
teacher. . . she is normal.”
M e t c a l f -
L in d en b u rg er, w ho has
dream ed o f being an
astronaut since the seventh
grade, found out about the
opportunity to apply for the
NASA program w hile
searching the space agency’s
Web site to answ er a
stu d en t’s question about
how a stro n au ts use the
bathroom in space. The
position for an educator
astro n au t ju s t had been
posted, so she jumped at the
chance.
Kathy E verid g e,
Hudson’s Bay principal said
M etc a lf-L in d b u rg e r has
proposed to keep in touch
with the school and perhaps
set up some collaborative
projects with NASA. “We
have a great team of science
teachers who work well
together,” Everidge said. “I
d o n 't see them losing
touch.”
In addition to her
teaching duties, Metcalf-
L in denburger also is an
assistant coach for the high
school's cross country team.
A ru n n er h e rself, she
recen tly co m p leted the
Boston Marathon.
M e t c a l f -
Lindenburger is a graduate
of Fort Collins High School
in C o lo rad o and has a
geology degree from
Whitman College in Walla
Walla, Wash. She is married
to
Jason
M etcalf-
L in d en b u rg er, a social
stu d ies
teach er
at
McLoughlin Middle School
in Vancouver.
Dutton and Metcalf-
Lindenburger will report to
the Johnson Space Center in
H ouston this sum m er to
begin learning about the
systems aboard the space
shuttles and international
space station. If successful
in their training, they and the
other candidates may be
scheduled for a space flight
by 2009.

Oregonian contributed to
this report.
